                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

COMPENSATION TO OFFICER OR OTHER PERSON FOR SERVICES NOT OTHERWISE COMPENSABLE
(§ 19.2-332)

Whenever in a criminal case an officer or other person renders any service
required by law for which no specific compensation is provided, or whenever any
other service has been rendered pursuant to the request or prior approval of the
court, the court shall allow therefor such sum as it deems reasonable, including
mileage at a rate provided by law, and such allowance shall be paid out of the
state treasury from the appropriation for criminal charges on the certificate of
the court stating the nature of the service. This section shall not prevent any
payment under § 2.2-816, which could have been made if this section had not
been enacted.
		This section shall not be construed to authorize the payment of any additional
compensation to an officer or other employee of the Commonwealth who is
compensated for his services exclusively by salary unless it be otherwise
expressly provided by law.
